Want to know something?
I’m pretty horrible at cooking. Like really, really bad.
(I’ve got the charbroiled pieces of apple pie still in my oven to prove it. Side note – must clean oven….or not…maybe retire from cooking altogether.)
So when my church family offered to bring us meals after Porter was born, I GLADLY accepted.
There’s just something so special about a friend bringing over a meal – feels like all is right in the world. Sweet fellowship and food mixed together into a blessing. I just love it. And as bad as I am at cooking, I always try to return the favor when a friend needs a meal. Receive a blessing by BEING a blessing – it’s the best feeling. Here’s just a short sampling of the meals we’ve received in the past two weeks – I haven’t cooked a single meal since we’ve been home from the hospital (!!!). Again…so blessed!
QUESTION: Have you ever brought a friend a meal?? Received a meal?
splendid…lindsay
i want to sign up for this business for when poppy comes: http://mealbaby.com/
we used something similar – takethemameal.com
worked so well!
I’m so glad people have been bringing you meals. Wish I were closer to also do so! After Hunter was born, our church family blessed us with SO many meals. It was such an act of love and service, and I’ll never forget how grateful I was for all of it.
Those all look delicious! Food is definitely a love language. All my friends and family know that if I cook for them (or SHARE my food haha)it means, “Hi. I like you. A lot. And I value you. So I roasted a chicken for you. Please eat it.”
oh man! this makes me hungry! It’s so awesome having this kind of support after the baby arrives!
I literally got four lasagnas when Alexander was born! Lasagna for days.
we’ve been so blessed with tons of meals since william’s arrival! now whenever a friend has a baby i’m totally bringing a meal because i know how much itz appreciated!
